Spotlight on Open Books
Open Books is a local nonprofit bookstore and community project in downtown Pensacola. The bookstore is entirely run by volunteers, with all proceeds going to support the Prison Book Project which donates books to inmates throughout Florida prisons. The project itself has been in the works since 1999, with the CORE (Collective of Resource Empowerment) House.
